  • 80 ml cooking oil
  • 80 ml water
  • 100 gr cake flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder

Instruction

  • Make sure your chiffon cake pan does not have a non-stick coating or your cake will not rise. The cake needs to cling to the side of the pan to rise tall
  • Take the eggs out from the fridge to let them come to room temperature. Separate the yolks from the whites. Make sure there is no trace of egg yolks or oil in the egg whites
